American University Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: No

American University is test optional, meaning that applicants are not required to submit SAT or ACT scores as part of their application. However, self-reporting of test scores is not allowed. Currently, 22% of applicants choose to submit SAT scores and 8% submit ACT scores, with the total figure exceeding 30%, which indicates that some students submit both types of scores.
